SanDisk has aggressively produced CF cards to go along with such a massive electronic device. In 2006 Photokina it launched the 12 GB and 16 GB Extreme III CF cards with writing speeds of 20 MB/sec. Not to mention the cost that pro’s shell out for such gadgets - a whopping USD 800.00 for the 12 GB and USD 1050.00 for the 16 GB.

And yes, with such a capacity, you can shoot without the worry of running out of space!

New Hampshire Fall

New Hampshire in the North east United States becomes a magnificent region of colors during fall. We had been on the Kancamagus Highway in late fall of 2005. Beating the few days of rain and the mist, we could catch some breath taking colors that painted the mountains.

Here is an impressionistic look from the cascade falls.

And more California Poppies

Slowly I am getting to reach the bottom of the stack! It must be over a thousand slides that I am reviewing. And although some of the things could have been done better, or differently, I did have a few shots that I am beginning to like.

Here is one more from that collection - a combination of golden yellow poppies and cyclamen,  swaying gently in the warm breeze against the blue sky.

This image is also shot on Provia 100 and scanned at 1800 dpi. Should you need more information on the subject or the image, please visit photoduniya.com or write to ranjaymitra@hotmail.com.
